Steam game management utilities

The dated history spans 2016 to mid-2026 with a sparse, uneven cadence, including three entries in July 2026 alone. luavault leads traction with 41 stars, far ahead of SteamPipeManager (3) and DeckShelf (2).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
